That the properly owners of Jer

of WtMtrutnitv paving wan demon
strated Tnewlay night. Their
fnith is so great in this product that
intiinntions, suspicions, charges ol
inferiority and accusations Hgainst
Wwitrtiuiite are cast aside with
scorn. A protwrty owner voiced
thte sentiment of the others nfter
the meeting Tuesday night when
he tated that the imving of Jersey
street would cost him $200 oroo,
yet he was willing to expend this
stun to !inr Westriiinitu even if he
knew it would hlow away the next

worth the price just to sec the ma

A Night With Dickens
"A Tale of Two Cities," by
Charles Dickens, is the first of a
scries of evenings with the world's
greatest writers, and the Motion
Picture Patent's Co. lias wisely se
lected to inaugurate this new de
parture in motion picture entertain
ments, with one of the best novels
ever written by this great English
author.
The "Talc of Two Cities" is in
three reels and each reel being 1000
feet in length, this one picture will
make up the show to the length of
the program usually run at the
lilectric theatre early next week.
The Vitagraph company has
been working on this scries for
half a year. The production re
quires every star artist in their ag
gregation in the chief roles, and at
least fifty additional actors in the
smaller parts. The mobs require
no less than 1000 supers; the scen
ery is by far the most realistic ever
seen; the costuming is selected with
the most exacting care. The en
tire photo play is on a greater scale
of magnificence than has even be
fore been attempted, and more than
all, both the author and the stage

justice practiced in the name of lib
erty while France trembled in the
throes of the "Reign of Terror."
The tale begins about the yen
17.S.V in I'rnncc, and in the most
graphic and realistic manner shows
the hostility of the nobility 01
Prance toward the poorer classes as
well as their exaction in the way
of taxation and their titter disre
gard of the conditions, the stnrva
tiousthat then prevailed in tiufortu
uatc Prance. The Marquis I) Kv

leasauti and because I Jr. Mimetic
a learned and honorable physician
refuses to aid in the concealment ol
the ciime, the medical man is se
cretlv imprisoned in the U.istile
that sinkhole of royal iniquity.
Meanwhile the doctor's wife dies
and a faithful servant, I.nfarge, has
taken I.ticy, their daughter, who
becomes the cherished ward :

girl grows up to beautiful woman

properly owners have been lead to
believe it is, we shall continue to
pin our faith to Westrumite. It is
easy to understand why iusinua

broadcast by a competing company.
if wustrumite is good, their strong
noiti 111 me ftortnwcst iiccomcs a
stronghold nevermore. If they have
proof, why not produce it? The
time is propitious. The question
of the substantiality of the base of
the street as proposed to be laid by
Westrumite has been raised by the
engineers, but it seems to us that
they will not understand. Mr
Lind has made it very plain to or
dinary Individuals at least, that
rock for the base will be composed
01 crushed rock tliat will pass
through 11 three-inch mesh with an
inch and a half retainer. Thus
any rock or dust or sand smaller
than will pass through an inch aiid
a naif mesli will be eliminated.
Upon this Is placed smaller rock
mid crushed into the voids with a
heavy roller. Then Westrumite.

to the contrary notwithstanding.
Anyhow, we do not blame the
proiHirty owners for winning to
take a chance upon it. They have

they have in Westrumite, nud we
